These strawberry kiwi popsicles are simple, fresh, and just sweet enough that you’re okay giving your grand babies more than one if that’s what they want.
No fillers, no long ingredient list, just real fruit frozen into something you’ll be glad you have sitting in the freezer when it’s 118° outside (oh wait, maybe that’s just me here in Arizona, haha). These popsicles are also a great way to use up fruit that’s nearing the end of its life, so nothing goes to waste.

Ingredient Notes
- Use fresh strawberries and kiwi, sliced thin.
- Use honey to sweeten the popsicles a little, depending on how sweet your fruit is. You may not need much. You can also omit this completely.
- A little lemon juice to adds some flavor a little freshness, but again you can skip it if you don’t have any.
Step-By-Step Instructions
- In a large pitcher mix the coconut water, honey, and lemon juice. If you’re not using these, you can skip this step.
- Wash your strawberries and peel the kiwis. Slice all the fruit nice and thin (using an egg slicer makes this quick and easy). The fruit needs to be thin enough to fit easily into your popsicle molds.
- Place the slices of fruit into the popsicle molds, filling them about 3/4 full. Don’t be shy with the fruit, you want the popsicles packed with fruit because that’s the majority of their flavor.
- Then pour the unsweetened coconut water mixture over the top until the molds are completely full.
- Put the lid on and pop those molds into the freezer and let them freeze for about an hour. After an hour, insert the popsicle sticks.
- Freeze the popsicles overnight to fully harden.
- When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply run the molds under warm water for a few seconds, and they’ll slide right out.
Tip
You can cut up the fruit super fast if you slice it with an egg slicer. I cut up all the fruit for these popsicles in like 5 minutes (I would have been faster, but the darn kiwi skin slows me down every time, haha).
Recipe Tips & Notes
- Slice the fruit thin so it fits easily in the molds and freezes evenly.
- Don’t overpack each mold. Fill them 3/4 full and leave a little space so the water can fill in around the fruit.
- Adjust the honey based on how sweet your fruit is. I usually start with 1 teaspoon and increase to 2 teaspoons if needed.
- You can also adjust the lemon juice, starting with 1 teaspoon and increasing to 2 teaspoons.
- Tap the molds gently on the counter to release air bubbles before putting them in the freezer.
- Freeze for an hour before inserting the popsicle sticks, this will ensure they freeze straight.
- Run the mold under warm water for 30–60 seconds to release the popsicles cleanly when you’re ready to eat them.
Storage Recommendations
Store the popsicles in the molds or transfer to a freezer-safe bag once frozen. They’re best enjoyed within a few weeks.
